Mantas 3 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I always had stomach when I got back, adjusting back to a western diet. Did you get any vid while you were there Spook? Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 nh, didn't get any vid mantas. a few guests had some nice tubes of mine on their video cameras but i never got round to nabbing it off them. no big deal as it wasn't all time footage. i got gazillions of pics. that'll do. since we've been back we've been hooking into all the western food that we've missed. lots of ham, cheese, nice crisp beers and wine. mmmm, wine. the surf is flat. not even bothering about it. starting to do a bit of training now for japan. hopefully it starts puking on honshu this week Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I think he's over here now Panhead. It's hard to keep track of that boy. I wish he'd get back to indo and post some more pics. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 No, first he has to get slapped back to reality with the endless Bummer that we are experiencing. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 My surfing experience ranges from 2 foot slop to 3 foot slop at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Had fun 1 ft ankle slappers yesterday and 2ft super clean kinda ok waves this morning. Had it been 3ft bigger it would have bee epic! The wait continues! Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Tourist infested 1 foot slops with Bluebottles. Kids (and wife) are loving it. 23 deg. water, even my little pixie elf daughter is surfing. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah, great for kids & mum's but C'mon Huey, help the dads! This threads been lacking pics, here's the grom. Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 hey fellas. just got back to perth after a week on the east coast. you guys complain about the surf being sloppy over there, but at least there's waves! and it didn't seem that crowded to me. the surf in perth is pretty much non-existent. whenever there is swell, it's just straighthanders... and don't even get me started on the crowds! even down south can get retarded crowded. i saw a ton of fun waves in the sydney region and up the coast with barely anyone surfing em...

Mantas 3 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 That young fella has style, and with the right foot forward too. Go Grommy Spook, I told ya, spoilt for life. WA must have changed a bit since I spent time there. Your right though, some parts of the East coast have very low crowds at times . I've had some epic mid week, mid winter surfs completly solo up that part of the coast where you went. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Mantas, I was suprised when he went Goofy because all the time in Japan he was boarding natural! May as well get em switching young! Link to post Share on other sites

May as well get em switching young! The whole goofy/ Natural thing with kids intrigues me. You put a kid on a surf board or snow board for the first time and they are never sure which way to stand even though it's pre-destined, they just don't know at that point. The little kid across the road rides goofy on lefts and natural on rights. i told him that one day he would have to make up his mind which way he was gunna stand. He said "why" Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 anyone see Machado's movie "The Drifter"? Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 havent seen it yet. been looking for a torrent cos i am a bad man. plus a mate saw it and reckons it wasn't anything special. like an hour of footage about rob being all philosophical (yawn...) and then 30 mins of footage at the end which is apparently rad to the max i want to see it for myself and come to my own conclusions. he has the sickest style and if the movie is a bit arty and goes on a bit, that;s not oo bad either, as long as it isn't a pile of wank. i'm looking forward to the new taylor steele flick - i think it's called castles in the clouds maybe? it's the sequel to sipping jetstreams, so should be unreal. saw some pics of rasta surfing a boolshit right in india and it got me all amped up Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Spook, you can get it at PB. I was given it by a mate, they all believed the whole thing that he really is like that! I have stayed at all those spots and one especially I would love to go back to.. gotta scam some me time outta this place! Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 yeah, rob being all soulful by himself in the jungle.... with 2 stills camera guys and two video guys lurking around. hmmmm. still, i like the fact they are trying to do something differen.t and his surfing is off the hook. he can jump on a shortboard and surf hi-performance, jump on a fish and draw beautiful critical lines, and then jump on something wird and tear it to bits too Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 footage on that small fish @ Deserts is pretty rad. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Smokin today. 6-8 foot big clean Merewether point. Took me 3 attempts to get out. But worth it. You get any of that Indo? Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Mantas, a little crept in yesterday am only 2-3 ft. I saw Merewether on the news last night and was frothing for the early. This morning, a perfect morning except the swell hasn't come to the party! 2-3ft.. arghhhhhhh. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Sydney didn't get it either. Must have been a local pulse. Dropped today. My arms are rooted! Link to post Share on other sites
